Exactly my point. Why should we adopt newer technology while using configuration parameters that degrade performance? 1500 was designed for thick net. It is absolutely stupid to use it for GigE or higher speeds and I do mean absolutely idiotic. It is going backwards in performance. No wonder there is still so much transport using SONET. Using Ethernet reduces your effective performance over long distance paths.
